Anthony W. “Tony” LeVier is one of aviation’s greatest test pilots. In May 1943, faced with alarming reports that the Luftwaffe would soon bring jets into their inventory, the Army invited Lockheed to submit a new design to replace the Bell YP-59 Airacomet. In a matter of days, Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson, Lockheed's Chief Research Engineer, and a few select engineers, produced the specifications for Model L-140. Less than 7 months later, the XP-80 Lulu Belle was airborne, powered by a British-built engine. On 10 June 1944, the program moved into high gear when "Tony" LeVier took the XP-80A Gray Ghost into the air. This improved design, powered by a General Electric I-40 engine, led directly to the P-80A. LeVier and other pilots rewrote the record books in the P-80 Shooting Star and helped the United States establish supremacy in aviation technology that continues to this day.
